fenboy Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 Some of my very best bags have been shot on very hot days , I even managed to get heatstroke on one of them , not something I wish to repeat. Last year I shot 60 on barley on what was the hottest day of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motty Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 It is a myth that pigeons won't feed in really hot weather. I have had many good bags when the temperature has been in the high 20s or in the 30s. I Often find that the busiest time of day can be 2-3pm, also the hottest time of day. A good wind is also not required for pigeon shooting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
